White Apple Designs

Creative recycled bags are always on my radar. Especially when they are made by enterprising individuals who put a personal touch to each item they create. White Apple Designs has done a wonderful job on their recycled bags and décor. They are run by a couple in Encinitas, CA and provide affordable, attractive and earth friendly products.

I got to try out this messenger bag made from 90% post-consumer recycled material. The outside is made from a coffee bean bag and the inside is a fun, festive print. The strap is made from seatbelt material and is surprisingly comfortable. This bag has a very large capacity so even with significant weight, my shoulder doesn't get worn out by this strap. The strap adjusts length easily and is expertly stitched at the base for a quality and lasting hold.

The front has three pockets under the flap for easy access to wipes, changing pad or snacks. There is a great little detail stitched in to the pocket on the right of this bag. I love it!

 

 

 

The inside is a good quality, heavy weight fabric with a playful and bright print. The bag is fully lined as well, so your goods are protected.

 

 

 

When I first got this bag I was surprised how large it was, and was greeted with a pleasant earthy smell that comes from the burlap coffee sack. After a few uses, that smell is gone but the style is wonderful. I get so many compliments on this bag and it's fun to tell them it's handmade in California! Usually, I pack this bag with three cloth diapers, a change of baby clothes, wipes, changing pad, lotion, snacks, a water bottle and still have room for more. For the price and the craftsmanship, this bag is a great deal. I love the work and thought that White Apple Designs has put into their products and recommend them if you need a fresh spring diaper bag or tote, head over to their Etsy site and check them out!
